L. L. de Flon, li £. Curtiss and S. Boshnakian, to make a thoro survey of the barberry situation in McHenry and see that all barberry bushes in town are dug up and burned. The common barberry bush (Berber is vul garis), including the purple leaved variety, nurses the black stemrust thru one of its stages, helps it develop and enables it to spread to the grains in the spring and early summer. The most direct method of attacking this* rust is to keep common barberry bushes out of wheat-growing regions. No more common barberry bushes should be planetd; those now growing should be destroyed by May 1 in order to protect this year's crop. Less barberry means more bread. The effect of. a single barberry bush, which harbors, nurses and spreads this disease, may extend for jr.-'.es. The Japanese barberry (Berberi» thun bergii) does not rust; it is harmless and'need not be destroyed. It is more beautiful, both in summer «nd winter, than the common barberry and can be distinguished from it quite easily. The edges of the leaves of the common barberry are toothed, while those of the Japanese barberry are not; the spine6 of the rommon variety are usually in groups of three, while those of the Japanese arc usually single. Both have red berries, but those of the common form are borne in racemes like currents, while those of the Japanese form .are borne singly like gooseberries. • ~ v ' It is expected that the people and .school children will co-operate with these men and see that all their barberries are removed. To have barberry bushes, which are infected, is against Illinois state law. Martin B.

HT M. Mehring at St. John's church/ Johnsburg. In commemoration of this event the couple celebrated their twentyfifth anniversary of their wedding at Johnsburg last Saturday morning with the celebration of a high mass with Rev. Wm. Weber officiating. A large number of their relatives and friends, attended the special services, which were conducted at eight o'clock. The celebration of the mass was followed by benediction. • The following day, Sunday, the occasion was celebrated in a social manner, near relatives and neighbors to the number of about seventy-five gathering at their home to assist this esteemed couple in making the occasion one long to be remembered. The guests arrived just before the noon hour, at which time all sat down to a most sumptuous repast, and after which a most sociable afternoon was spent. Many beautiful gift were left by the guests, all of which are valued highly by the recipients, and which, in time to come, will serve them afv pleasant . reminders of this, happy occasion. Mr. and Mrs. Bauer have resided on the farm they now occupy during the past eventeen. years, Mr. Bauer having purchased the place at the time they first 'moved onto same. Ten children have been born to the union, seven of whom are living and were presept to help the parents celebrate the happy occasion of -their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary.^ * Tells of Arrest Sarkis Boshnakian, one of the three young men employed by the United States department of agriculture, who was picked up at the Riverside hotel here last week, called at The Plaindealer office on Tuesday morning of this week. He informed a reporter that the three were in great danger of being lynched on their arrival in the Wisconsin city, as a furious mob had gathered seemingly for the purpose of doing bodily harm to the suspects.f Apeording to his story they surely would have been severely dealt with had the police depart- j ment in that city not used every precaution at their command. The crowd followed them to the jail and not until about the midnight hour did the excited men dispurse. The informant also told Us that after they had been tied at the Riverside hotel the trio pleaded With the Wisconsin authorities to take them over to Woodstock, where they would be given positive proof that they weren't the men who committed the Kenosha job. Their pleas proved, fruitless. They were loaded into the automobile and the trip to Kenosha was made in record breaking time. It is indeed unfortunate for these young men, who bear the very best pf reputations. Mr. Boshnakian's mission to McHenry -on Tuesday was for the same purpoee as originally intended last week, to aid in the eradication of the barberry bush in this locality.

'O business can keep ahead of rising costs and make h safe incomes except by great, good, unreliable luck--until the boss stops guessing. The greatest mistake of most small retailers is a laok of appreciation of accuracy and exactness--a failure to grasp the importance of the "to the penny" balance idea, which many of them think is only for the banker.
